Summary edit
| Description |
English: The leaning Albert Clock, Belfast. To understand the reason for the clock's lean you have to remember that it is built on reclaimed land and that ships once berthed at the bottom of Waring Street 969731 and High Street 623495 - Skipper Street 761668 also refers to this. Much of central Belfast is underlain by a deposit of soft mud and silt - "sleech".
Inst 432368 and the Custom House 1061797 are two buildings which are now lower than when built as a result of sinking into the sleech. The cross-harbour road and railway 4750 477277 590336 required foundations up to 60 metres deep before reaching firm ground. The clock is said to be 113 ft tall and to be 14ft off vertical (it was built to imperial measurements). The degree of lean can be appreciated in this comparison with the Custom House Square apartments 1124762 completed this year. |
